<p>This delightful book reduces most of the canon of &quot;Western Literature&quot; into a series of four-panel cartoons. &nbsp;Each of the books thus encapsulated is given one two-page spread, and each 4-panel cartoon only uses 3 to tell the story, because one panel is always the book title.</p>
<p>I found this collection to be very funny and well thought out. &nbsp;It&#39;s also weird how many of the books he actually <i>does</i>&nbsp;capture the essence of in one page.</p>
<p>You&#39;re in a hurry, so check this one out!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://evpl.org/community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1577" width="1" height="1">fictionbooksClassicsbooks and readingcomicsgraphic novels
